Quite right, big business has successfully lobbied for many unfair advantages. But two wrongs do not make a right. Undo the damage by repealing existing regulation instead of heaping statute upon statute.
- Kadin 17y ago"Repealing existing regulations" would not suddenly make the entrenched entities who grew powerful under the protection of those regulations vanish. Sure, you'd have a level playing field (of sorts), but some of the players would have had years to practice: the result would be anything but a fair fight. The only way deregulation would work is if it was accompanied by demonopolization. Since that is not politically feasible, it would be a mistake and probably lead to worse outcomes to go ahead with only the deregulatory part.
